Transfer Mindjet for iPhone (+ iPod Touch) with MindManager Windows & Mac
Excited users of our new iPhone app, Mindjet for iPhone, have contacted me on our blog and through social media (e.g. @Mindjet or @MichaelDeutch on Twitter), to get clarification on how to transfer files between your mobile device and MindManager on your desktop/laptop computers.
I just updated to Catalina OS on my Mac. I run Mindjet Mindmanager for Mac - 11.2.117. Now when I create map and try to save it, I get an error box that. WHAT’S NEW IN MINDMANAGER 10.6 64 Bit Support. MindManager for Mac now fully supports 64 bit versions of Mac OS Improved HTML Export. HTML Export has had significant visual and performance enhancements. MindManager for Mac now automatically applies the latest HTML Export improvements as they are released without an application update. Issue: MindManager for Mac may crash when opening maps in Mindjet Files. Resolution: Fixed. Issue: Map Themes cannot be applied to Flowchart diagrams. Resolution: Fixed. Issue: MindManager for Mac crashes while using the ‘Find’ feature in Flowchart maps. Resolution: Fixed.
The instructions can be found below or in our FAQ post. This transfer process works for both the PC and Mac…
How to Send an Mindjet for iPhone/iPod Touch Map to your PC or Mac:
- Ensure that both your iPhone/iPod touch and laptop/desktop have Wi-Fi switched on and are both connected to the same network.
- Launch Mindjet on your iPhone or iPod Touch and select the ‘Transfer’ button at the bottom left of the main screen.
- While the transfer window is still displayed on your iPhone/iPod touch, launch your computer’s web browser and enter the exact URL displayed at the top of the iPhone/iPod screen into computer’s browser address field (e.g. it looks like: http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:nnnnn).
- Select from the list of your iPhone/iPod’s maps are displayed.
- Right click on the desired map’s MindManager link and select ‘save as’.
- After downloading the map, it will have a “.xml” tag at the end of it, delete this tag so that the file name is just “____.xmmap”
- Open your map with MindManager.
Productivity Tip: Simplify this process by using ‘Bonjour‘. Bonjour lets you automatically connect your mobile device with your desktop, eliminating the need to type URL’s each time you want to connect and exchange data between your computer and your mobile device. Mac users must activate Bonjour and Window’s users can download Bonjour for free from Apple’s site.

Map Parts for MindManager Mac
Yesterday, I shared how to create a Map Part in MindManager 8 for Windows. As Catherine pointed out, I failed to explain what a map part is. Here goes: Map Parts are branches with topics and subtopic. Their purpose is to save time by allowing you to quickly add frequently-used or common information sets into your maps.
Here’s a quick recap on some ways map parts could be used.

As you may already know, I’m relatively new to the world of Macs. I’m excited, but have to admit, a bit scared too. I feel silly, stumbling around, trying to do some really basic things. I’m learning though and hope to incorporate some more Mac posts soon!
So, without further ado, here’s a quick guide to map parts on the Mac:

Create a Map Part

Follow these steps to create custom map parts:
- Begin a new map.
- Enter or edit the topics you want to include in the map part. The map part will include only the first (upper-right) main topic and its subtopics; it will not include the central topic or any other topics on the map.
- Enter the name of the map part. It will automatically be assigned the extension .mmmp
- To make the map part available in the library’s Map Parts pane, MindManager automatically saves it in the default folder:
~/Library/Application Support/Mindjet/MindManager/7/{language}/Library/Map Parts. The new map part will be available in the library’s selection of map parts.
Using Map Parts
Map parts provide a method for quickly adding commonly-used topics to your map. They are stored in the library and can be dragged onto the map or outline to create new topics.
- If the library is not already open click the Library toolbar button or choose Window > Show Library.
- In the library’s top pop-up menu select Map Parts.
- Drag the map part from the library to the map or outline. A visual cue will show you the new location for the topics.
MindManager Mac Map Part Tips:
- To create a floating topic in Map View, hold down the Shift key as you drag the map part onto the map. This prevents it from attaching to another topic.
- If you add a map part that you created its formatting may not match the rest of your map. To use the map’s default formatting, in Map View select the new topics from the map part and choose Format > Use Default Format.
